- On this episode,
the strong men are in Scotland to face off in the island
nation's biggest showdown: The Highland Games. They'll honor
the sport's all-time greatest champion,
Donald Dinnie... - Yeah! - By attempting
four of his famous feats. - Watch out. - Including carrying
two infamously heavy stones across a bridge. Can our strong men live up to Scotland's most
legendary athlete? - Wow, oh, man, look at that. - Oh yeah, that's some
good bleeding there. Ooh. - Let's go, B. - Get some, get some! - The legendary feats of
strong men have been celebrated throughout time, but just how true
are these fabled acts? - Yeah! - The world's strongest man. - After years of competing
as rivals, the four strongest men
in the world are teaming up to find out. - Keep going, keep going. [ shouting ] - They'll take on epic
feats of strength... - This is not going up. - ...in a quest to
prove who really is... - This is gorgeous.
- It's pretty amazing. - This is right
where they have the Highland Games
championships, right here. And this week,
I've set us up to compete in our very own Highland Games, and to take on one of
the greatest of all time, Donald Dinnie. - How did you manage
to get this? - I had to pull a lot
of strings to get us here, and they take this
very seriously. - The Highland Games
are festivals that go back centuries, where all the clans
would come together, and their strongest men
would compete to see who was the fittest
and most athletic. The king would choose
members of his security and his entourage
specifically from those games. This field in Braemar
is hallowed ground for Highland Games. This is the Super Bowl
of the Highland Games. The queen has a box right
on the side, where she sits and
watches the best in the world compete in this sport. - Good morning.
- Mr. Wood. - How are you doing?
- Nice to see you. - Really nice to meet you. Welcome to Scotland,
welcome to Braemar, and welcome to the home
of the Braemar Gathering. Really good to see you. - We're paying homage
to Donald Dinnie. Obviously, we all know
he's a legend. He's an amazing
Highland Games athlete. What the New York Yankees
are to baseball, this guy was
to the Highland Games. - Donald was actually
a competitor here for over 20 years,
1857 through to 1877. He was a member of Braemar
Royal Highland Society, and he competed here regularly. - Donald Dinnie
was the first super-athlete and honestly succeeded in
almost anything he tried. - Donald Dinnie lived
in the mid-1800s. At 6'1", 210 pounds, he won 11,000
individual competitions and performed feats of
strength well into his 70s. Over his 50-year career,
his fame became so widespread that during World War I, the British Army had a nickname
for heavy artillery shells. They called them... Donald Dinnies. - You're following
the footsteps of Donald Dinnie, so you'll be down to Potarch
to look at and try and have a wee shot at
lifting the Dinnie Stones. - The Dinnie Stones are
a feat of strength that I've known about since
I started lifting weights. So they've been on my bucket
list for a very long time. - So you guys are
looking to take part in some Highland Game
events, are you? - Yes, sir.
- Fantastic. But you can't do it dressed
like that, all right? - No. - So I can maybe make
some contacts and see whether or not we can get somebody
who can suitably attire you for taking part
in the competition. - Here at the Braemar Gathering,
there's a rule: You cannot step on the field
unless you're wearing full attire, i.e.,
kilt, socks, all the goods. - Well, I appreciate
you very much. Thank you so much.
- Cheers, thanks. - All right.
- Pleasure. - Hello.
- How you doing? - Fine.
- Mr. Wood sent us. - Ah.
- Robert. - I'm Alister.
You're here to do the games? - Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
- Please. - My grandmother was Scottish, and she was extremely
proud of her heritage. I really want to just
engulf myself in the culture and feel a little bit
closer to my grandma. - I don't think the guy
was actually prepared for some of our dimensions. - That won't go
around Brian's waist. - No.
[laughs] - In a normal store,
it is extremely difficult for any of us
to find things to wear. - That one's a forty-six-inch.
Oh, you're the little one. - I have the easiest time with
it because I'm the smallest, but Robbie and Brian
and even Eddie, next to impossible. - Fifty-inch waist.
- That's quite slender. - So we have the same waist, but I'm another six,
seven inches taller. - Ah, fifty-one.
- fifty-one. - The nice thing about
a kilt is, as long as it's long enough
to go around your waist, pretty much you just buckle
it on and wear it like that. - You like you're ready
to throw some stones, bud. - I'm feeling it right now. - Whoa. - Looks good, right? Come on. - Looks lovely. - You ready for this, guys?
- I'm not sure. - Come on out, big guy. - Wow. - Nice, the red's
a good color for you. - Yeah, I like it. - Actually, out of all us, I think this suits you
the best, Nick. - Thanks, thank you, Eddie. - I like it, thank you.
- Enjoy your, enjoy your day. - I think we're suited
and booted, boys. You ready to roll?
- Ready. - Nice to meet you. - Having the judges on the field
this week means that if any of us were
to break a world record, it would actually count. We're chasing Donald Dinnie's
legendary records. And let's see if we're
even anywhere close to that. - Don't laugh. Nobody laughs.
[ laughs ] - We fancy a challenge. - The thing about
the Highland Games is there are about 100 of them
all across Scotland. They each have their own
stone, their own setup. Everything's different. Everywhere you go
has a different stone that weighs a different thing. There's just some old guy
in a kilt putting a stick in the ground to tell
you far you throw it. This Braemar Stone
is from this area. This is where the big dogs come. This is the Super Bowl
of the Highland Games. They have a 28-pound stone
from the river here. For our first challenge
in Scotland, we're going to challenge Donald
Dinnie's record for shotput. - Throwing heavy rocks is
an ancient test of strength, dating as far back
as the first century. Today, one of the most popular
Highland Games events is putting the stone. In 1867, at the age of 30, Donald Dinnie set a record
with a 28-pound Braemar Stone. He threw it 31 feet
and 7 inches. Can our strong men
match Dinnie's distance? Can they throw it
even further? Let's find out. - Donald Dinnie threw
the Braemar Stone 31' 7". - I mean, that 28 pounds is a
lot of weight to throw 30 foot. - Right? Especially with guys
like us, who have never done it. - Yeah.
- But that's kind of what we do. We show up, we take on
a legend we're unprepared for, and we win the day. I threw shot
as a senior in high school and one year in college. I was actually
pretty good at it. In Highland Games,
putting the stone is almost exactly like
the shotput in America. - You know what I think? I think we should get
the Average Man out. - Good idea, B.
- For sure. - Average Man! - Hustle, hustle, hustle.
- Hustle. - All right, you nervous? - Ah, not really.
I mean, you know, it's a rock. - It's a stone.
- Oh, sorry, it's a stone. - It's 28 pounds, and today
we're trying to throw it 31' 7". - This is very awkward. - Nice.
- I feel a little ridiculous. - Above average, man. - That was pretty good. - 15' 9". - Exactly half
of what Donald Dinnie did. - That was great.
- Thank you. - That was great.
- All right, boys. Let's get cracking.
Let's do this. - Let's roll.
- We've got the 31 feet, what Donald Dinnie did back
in the day, so who's up first? - I'll go first.
- Get it. - All right, Nick,
we're going to mark right where you land over here
with the judge. 31 feet, brother, come on. - All right. I can't even get my arm in
position. That's all my arm goes to. This is it, right here,
so not my event. [grunts]
- Nice, Nick. - Good job, Nick.
- Nice, Nick. - 23' 5". - Nick went first
with a stone put, and his throw was not good. - Let's go, Eddie. - Nice.
- Nice. - 29' 10".
- 29' 10". - Nearly there. I didn't get Donald Dinnie's
record for the 28-pound stone. I nearly did it but just
not quite enough momentum. - Close only counts in
horseshoes and hand grenades. - I grabbed it this way because I wanted the
thick end on my neck. - A little further.
- A little further, down? - When I first got
into this sport, I looked up to Brian.
I studied the way he moves. I studied what shoes he wore. I knew what shoes Brian
wore before I met him. Keep it on your head
as long as possible, and the last thing you do
is flick your fingers. I did everything I could to
actually emulate what he's done because his strength career
is one that I can only dream of. Keep it tucked, nice and tight. - I knew Robert had
done shotput before, so I really wanted
to beat him at that because I knew how much
it meant to him. [grunts] - Ooh, good.
- Nice. - 31' 10". - Smoked the record, dude.
Three inches is three inches. - Nice.
- Yeah. - Yes!
- Brian just smashed that. - I'm glad that I was able
to set the new record, and I definitely wanted
to beat Robert. - You're the one with the
Scottish blood in your veins. - Yeah.
- You got to beat this now. - He's a beast, man. I've been competing against
Brian for about four years. I had to work hard
to get up to that level where I could
compete against Brian. I really want this one. - Well, go get it. - Well, get fired up and
go knock this out. Let's go.
- Here we go. - Good job, B.
- Thanks, guys. - Histor. A little bauble there by
Big Z on the left side. That could be costly. - Big Z now trailing Shaw
by a fairly wide margin. Brian Shaw! If he can get the
fifth one up here, he wins the title
of World's Strongest Man, and he does. - Come on, Obie,
blast this thing. - Let's go. [growls] - Good.
- I think that's a record. - This one's further. - Oh yes, 34' 11". - Whew.
- Wow. - Robbie!
- Well done, Obie. - Nice job, Oberst, just beat
Donald Dinnie's record. - Breaking Donald Dinnie's
putting the stone record was pretty cool, but beating
Brian, that's the cherry on top. - Smoked the record, dude. - Man, that felt good. - I guess you weren't lying about throwing
shotput before, huh? - Right, right. - I thought that was just
a story you made up. - No, I'm telling you. - With some training,
I feel like I could get him, but today, second place,
first loser. - For our second challenge
in Scotland, we're going to face off
in the most iconic Highland Games event:
the caber toss. There it is, boys. - Over 1,000 years ago,
the Highland Games started as tests of strength
among Scottish warriors. Beginning in 1856, Donald Dinnie
won the annual gathering a whopping 21 years in a row. His most famous event
was the caber toss. It's estimated
that he won this particular competition
over 1,400 times. Can our strong men use
enough brute strength to flip it even once? Let's find out. - You're gonna want to pop it up and catch it here.
- Yeah. - Use your shoulder
to balance it, and as it comes forward,
you raise up and flip it.
- Right. Okay. - You want it to go
straight and come back down exactly the way
you're facing. - It has to hit as close
to 12 o'clock as possible. 12 o'clock is a perfect throw. - Imagine looking at a clock,
12 o'clock is straight, right, so when you flip the caber over, you need to flip it
as close to 12 o'clock as you possibly can. - So it's not about distance? - It's not about distance.
This is finesse and strength. - Okay. - It's obviously a
big risk for us. I'm a little worried that
we're just gonna use muscle and end up exploding our tendon. - The caber that we're going
to try to flip over is 16 feet and 120 pounds. This is actually the caber that
they use for the Braemar Games. I have never flipped
a caber over in my life, and you're going
to have me start with the heavyweight,
pro model? What? - The thing about this
is there's no real records of how well
Donald Dinnie did this. We know he won a bunch of times. So we're definitely
chasing after Donald Dinnie's legend here. We want to win,
we want to do our best, but I think this is
more of a competition between the four of us. - You up for making it
into a bit of a bet? - Always, always. - Okay, winner gets to pick
their favorite bottle of Scotch. - I think that's perfect. - All right, guys,
whoever throws this thing the closest to 12 o'clock is the winner and gets
a bottle of Scotch. - Yeah.
- I'm a bit thirsty. - We're each going to have
two attempts at the caber toss. - Let's go.
- Good. - Let's do it. - Oh my gosh. I've flipped cabers before, but I haven't touched
a caber in 18 years. [buzzer] - Couldn't grab it. - Thank you, sir. - Come on, Ed.
- Let's go, Ed. - It's like a balancing act. All the weight is like
20 foot above you. - Pull it in to your belly.
Yes! [buzzer] - That's a lot harder
than it looks. [laughs] - Get in there. - Yes, yes.
- Got it. - Aw. - Unbelievable. It seems like such a
simple little flick. It's actually much more about
technique than any of us knew. - Come on, Robbie you got this. - Come on, Obie. - We're all strong enough
to flip this thing; we just got to get
in the right position. - Good save.
- Get up! - Let it go, let it go. Ah! - Four of us have tried, and four of us have failed
quite miserably. - The way this is going,
it doesn't look like any one of us is
going to be able to successfully flip this thing. - Come on there, Nick.
- Let's go, bud. - Good luck. [exhales] [groans] - Oh!
- Oh! - I got hit right in the jewels. Had to take a knee,
had to take a minute. [coughs] Pretty embarrassed,
didn't feel very good. I don't want to do that again. - Who would've known
you should wear a cup when you do Highland Games?
- Oh God. - Ed, do you still feel
like going after that? - Yeah.
- Well, it takes balls, brother. - It does take balls.
Thanks, man. - Big pop, big pop,
got to pop it. There. - Whoa. - Fight it, come on, fight it. There you go, there you go,
come on. Wow. - Ed actually let the caber
go almost horizontal over his shoulder and still
pulled it all the way back in. It was amazing to see that. - Wind it, Ed, come on. - Yes! - I don't think that was a flip,
but it looked good. - It went that way. - End over end. - The judge was
very harsh on me. I felt as though
I did flip it. He said it went
around to the side. [buzzer] - I was a little embarrassed. We're trying to take on
the feats of Donald Dinnie. This is no small thing. Get up.
Come on, come on, come on. - Come on, Obie. - Nice. - Yes! - That was a good toss.
That was good. - [chuckles] Honestly, once it was here,
I was like, "I did it, I did it,
don't mess it up now." - Yeah, yeah. - Good job, dude. - Brian, if you don't make this, you guys all owe me
a fine bottle of Scotch. - No pressure.
- No pressure, none. - Robert beat me at
putting the stone, so there's no way I'm letting
Robert win this thing. - Come on, Scotch. - Hah. - Watch out. - Piece of [bleep]. I tell you what:
that is frustrating. - To beat Brian at
anything is amazing. If I beat Brian in checkers,
I'd be excited, but to beat Brian in
a feat of strength twice, it feels pretty damn good. Well, guys, it looks
like you owe me a nice bottle of Scotch. I'm gonna stay over here
in the winner's circle. - Look at this setting, huh?
- Wow. - It doesn't get any
better than that. - This is perfect. - For our third
challenge in Scotland, we're going to do
a keg toss for height. - One of Donald Dinnie's
favorite competitions at the Highland Games was
called weight for height. According to the rules,
athletes tossed a 56-pound weight
over a horizontal bar using only one hand. Eventually, modern-day
strong men turned this event
into keg for height. It is now one of the
most iconic feats of strength in current strongman
competitions. Can our guys raise the bar
and tap into Dinnie's legend? Let's find out. - I think we already know who
has thrown it the highest, and the world record-holder
is right here. You got the world
record in this? - I do currently,
with a 33-pound keg, I have thrown it just
shy of 24 feet. [cheers and applause] - And Brian Shaw sets the new
world record in the keg toss. - Give it up for Brian Shaw. - Easy. Easy. - Well, as of now,
that stands. [chuckles] - I mean, you have an
open door to beat me today, buddy, if you want to. - So shall we say
two attempts? If you miss the first one,
you get a second go. If you miss the second one,
you're out. - Out, right. - Keep, get a rising bar,
keep going up and up and up. - Yeah, perfect. - Nick, you're up.
- Oh yeah, I'll go first. Generally speaking, I'm not
that good at keg toss. I'm just trying
not to finish last. - So we're starting off
with 12' 3". This should be a
pretty decent warm up. - Heads.
- Yeah. - I'm a former football player,
so for me, this is exploding
off the line and hitting somebody
in the face. It's the same exact movement. - That was like 26 feet.
- Quick, quick, quick, quick! - No, no! - [Bleep] damn it.
- No! No! - That's a real shame. - I don't know if that was
the world record for height, but it was definitely
the world record for distance. - All right, you guys
ready to raise it? - Let's do four.
- Four feet. - All right, Nick, 16' 3".
Come on. - Nice.
- Whoa. - Wow. - Go get it. - Imagine every time you did it,
you had to go for a jog. - Come on, Brian, 16' 3",
let's go. [buzzer] - Disqualified. - The first miss, you got cocky. The world record-holder,
the first one to miss. - Robert has been
just beating me all week, and I'll be honest: it's starting to get
under my skin a little bit. - All right, so that's one
miss for B. If you miss this one,
you're out. - All right. That's better. - Now go up three feet?
- Three foot, yeah. - All right, guys,
we're at 18 and a half feet. - [bleep]. - Not even close. - Last shot, Nick, come on.
- Come on, Nick. [buzzer]
- Well, I'm out, good luck. Being a strong man and growing up
with two older brothers has put that competitive
edge inside me, and throughout my whole life, no matter who it is,
I've always got to be the best. - Whoa.
[buzzer] - This is your last shot
at this height. If you miss, you're out. [buzzer] - Nice save.
- Good job, dude. - Definitely better at drinking
the kegs than throwing them. This is not my event,
so leave it to those guys. - All right, Brian,
just you and me. Oh! I'm pretty good at keg toss,
it's one of my favorite events, but Brian Shaw's four-time
World's Strongest Man, and he has the world
record in keg toss. - Cool. - Second attempt, buddy,
here we go. - It means I need
to step my game up. - Yeah. [buzzer] A tad too close. - Oh how the mighty have fallen. - Fair enough. - All right, Brian,
you missed the first one. If you miss this one,
you're out, and I win. - It's up.
- It's good. - That landed
like Thor's hammer. - I've competed against
Robert several different times over the years,
and he's never beaten me in a strongman contest. - We got this up to 22 feet,
and we'll do single elimination? - All right, shake on it.
- Let's do it. - All right. - Get up. Get up! Yes! [groans] - I really need to
step up right now. I'm the world record holder
in this event, and I've got to get this right
and get my keg over the bar. - Brian and Oberst have been
having a competition all week, and I can see Brian
getting really riled up. Brian's gonna blow. [groans] [buzzer] - That's how it's done.
Good game. - Good job, buddy.
- Good job. - I'm rolling, baby. I just beat Brian Shaw
in three consecutive events. I don't know what to say:
This must be my week. It feels good to beat the best
in the world at their event. - Oberst just keeps getting
the edge on Brian. End of the day, he's four times
World's Strongest Man, and for someone that's never
won it to keep beating him, I can see that it's hurting
Brian quite a lot. - Oh there they are,
the Dinnie Stones. - Sweet. - That's a lot of strongman
history right there. - This is what we came all
the way to Scotland for, boys: these stones right here,
the Dinnie Stones. - They don't even look that big.
- They don't, do they? I thought they'd be bigger. For our final challenge
in Scotland, we're going to try and pick up and walk with
the legendary Dinnie Stones. These are probably one
of the most iconic things in strength history. - In the history of the world's
great strength challenges, there are perhaps
none more famous than carrying the Dinnie Stones. These two legendary
Scottish boulders were originally used
as counterweights during the construction
of the Potarch Bridge. Together, they weigh
in at 733 pounds. In 1860, Donald supposedly
carried them 17 feet, across the width of that bridge. But just how did he manage
to carry them? We're about to find out. - So how are we gonna
pick these things up? - Supposedly how he did
it was he would pick and kind of like hip thrust, drop back down, step forward,
pick and drop back down. - So it wasn't one
continuous walk, it was more of an
up-down, up-down motion. - Right. But there is a record
for continuous walk. It's a farmer's walk-type carry. You pick it at the sides, and it's one continuous walk
without dropping them. And the record in that is just
a little bit over eight feet. - Okay. - This is gonna be tough,
guys. This is gonna be tough. - Nobody really knows
exactly what happened with Dinnie and these stones. Some people think
he picked it up and walked between his legs. Some people think
that he picked it up and walked it from the side. There's a lot of different
opinions on what happened. All I know is this week, the legend takes a back seat
to the world record. We're going to try and pick
the stones at our side and walk across
the bridge with them, which is probably
the hardest way to do this feat, but that's what we're here for. - So what are the exact combined
weight of these stones? - So the big boy here
is 414.5 pounds, the little guy is 318.5 pounds, with a combined weight
of 733 pounds. - Jeez.
- They're awkward; they're big. They're a lot tougher
than it looks. - Yeah, almost 100 pounds
different. - That one alone is like
picking Brian up one-handed. - And I'm like the other one.
- There it goes. - So it's essentially
having Brian in one hand and Nick in the other.
- Yeah, yeah. - Jeez.
- Jeez. - A lot of men have come,
a lot of men have tried, and a lot of men have failed to even break these things
off the ground. If you can even lift the stones, you get your name
permanently put in the Dinnie Stones
record book. - There's guys who have
trained their entire lives just for these stones. - Picking them up has
been a feat of strength that's been on my bucket list. - Um, let's go get geared up
and get after this. - Sounds good.
- Cool. - Let's do it. [cheering, applause] - The Dinnie Stones are
really sacred around here, so whenever someone comes out
to take on the Dinnie Stones, word spreads around town, and the local people come out
to watch the attempt. [cheering] - All right, guys,
just so you know, this white tape right here
is the current world record for the farmer-style carry
with these stones. - There's a reason that
the world record for carrying the Dinnie Stones
is just over eight feet, because it is incredibly
hard to do. Just lifting them off
the ground gets your name in the official record book. - Okay, if you carry them
in one fluid motion, without dropping them,
from that line past here, you own the world record. - So the rock's just got
to break the line? - Right, yeah, one millimeter
past the end of the line. - Okay. - So we're going to go me,
then Nick, then Ed then Brian. - Okay.
- Okay. - Let's get it, guys.
- On you, Obie, good luck. - Ha. - Give me need a slap on the
shoulder, man, come on. - Let's go, buddy, let's go. Yeah! - It's the most iconic feat
of strength in Scotland, and I've been beating
Brian all week. If I come out here
and win this, I'll leave Scotland undefeated. Get up, get up! - Come on, let's go. [shouts] [cheering] - Let's go, Obie, let's go. Let's go, Obie,
let's go, let's go. [groans] [applause] - I had to drop. It basically pried
open my fingers until it came out of my hands. Ow, my hands are done. - Hands are done? - It was like holding
1,000 razorblades digging into your hand. Thanks, guys. Ah! The right one's way heavier, but the left one's
gonna rip into you. - All right, let's go, Nick. - I'm on the bridge,
I'm about to go, and what you don't know is I actually hurt
my upper back, and I'm not sure
if it's gonna hold. - Let's go, Nick.
- Come on, Nick. - Let's go. - Whoa, [bleep]. - Got to squeeze that one,
that rock one. Dig it deep, bud,
dig it deep. You got to sacrifice
that right hand, man. You got to throw it in there.
- Yeah, I know. It ain't gonna feel good. Come on, Nick.
- Let's go, Nick. - All's I wanted to do
was pick them up and get across the bridge,
but at the end of the day, I just wanted to pick them up
and not get hurt. - All right.
Come on, up, up, up. Come on, up, up, up! [cheers]
- Nice. [applause] - Being injured,
I was very shocked when I grabbed into those things and was actually able
to stand up with them. And I was even more happy
that I was able to go somewhere with it,
so.... - You literally dug into your
own finger and ripped it open. - I cut my hand open,
and I was bleeding. - Way to put it all on the line. - Come on, Ed. - Let's go, Ed. - Find that little groove
in the little one. - So I'm about to pick
these Dinnie Stones up. I've just watched
Nick and Oberst go. I'm not feeling
very confident. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna rip
a finger off or something here. - Come on, Ed, let's go. [cheers] - Up, up, up! - There you go.
Slow, slow, Ed. Come on, Ed.
Come on, Ed! Go, Ed!
Get there, Ed! - Holding on to the stones
for so long, I can literally feel the flesh
in my hands tearing, the skin tearing. - Come on, Ed.
Go, Ed. Get there, Ed! - Oh! - Ah! [bleep] - Nice work. Wow, oh, man, look at that. - Oh yeah. - Oh my God, my hands
are literally on fire. Everything's cracked
and creased, and there's blood coming
out my fingers. That was one of
the most painful things I've ever had to do
in my strongman career. - You were going, man.
I thought you were gonna get it. - That stings. [Bleep] ripped my hands up. - Yeah, that's some
good bleeding, man. - So it's like the skin's almost
separated from the finger and been dragged down
a couple of millimeters. All my callouses are ripped. That was pretty horrendous. That is genuinely
really painful. - Robert has beaten me at every
single challenge this week, but I kind of had to put
that out of my head and just commit to my lift. There are moments in time
as a strongman where the world seems to stop because you're presented
with a strength challenge that you've heard about
your entire life, and the Dinnie Stones
is very much that feat of strength for me. [shouts] - Come on, let's go. - Easy, easy. - Up! - Come on, B. [shouting, cheering] - Come on, let's go,
Brian, come on. - Brian is attempting
to break the world record in the continuous carry
of the Dinnie Stones. [cheers] - Let's see this! - Let's go, Brian, come on. - Squeeze, Brian, squeeze! - Come on, you got three feet,
Brian, let's go. Get here, Brian, break that!
Come on, get it! Get it, bro.
- Come on, all the way. - Brian, you got it.
- Yes! [cheers and applause] - 11' 6.5" - Brian, you just
broke the world record for farmer's carry
on the Dinnie Stones. - Yeah, it's not bad.
[chuckles] - That's awesome, man,
that's awesome. - Getting the opportunity
to come to Scotland, take on the Dinnie Stones
on the bridge that Donald Dinnie actually
crossed with those stones, it's something I'll never
forget for the rest of my life. - I'm at a loss for words,
Brian. That's one of the coolest
things I've ever seen. That was really cool, man.
- I appreciate that, man. - I beat Brian Shaw in keg toss,
I beat him in shotput, I beat him in the caber toss, but I've got to admit: seeing him break that record
in the Dinnie Stones, I'm raising the white flag. Brian won Scotland. - It's kind of surreal, I mean, I've heard about these
stones my entire life, and now I'm standing
on the bridge. You know, it's a whole
new level of respect, and I think
it's quite an accomplishment, all of us,
getting them off the ground. I can absolutely see
why these stones are so famous and why so many men
fail to lift them. - Well done, Brian.
- Thank you, guys. - You get your name in this book only if you successfully
lift the stones. Such a fantastic job.
Well done. - Thank you.
- Thanks. - Thank you. - Since all four of
us successfully lifted the Dinnie Stones,
we got invited by the official record-keeper
to permanently ink our names in the record book. - So Robert, you're first. - After learning about
Donald Dinnie this week, I've gained so much respect for
him and everything he's done. - Can I ask you to
sign that, please? - Yes, ma'am. Having them put my name
in that book, it was amazing. Our family name is permanently
in the historical books of the Dinnie Stones
here in Scotland. I got this really
cool feeling that my grandmother was looking down and smiling. - And Nicholas.
- Yes. Anybody that comes here
can go out and take an attempt at
picking up those stones. So to be the 105th person in
the world to ever pick those up, it's a pretty big honor. - Eddie Hall?
- Yup. And it makes me think
about my legacy, about the stuff that
we're doing in this day and age and what legacy's going
to be left behind, to be remembered
potentially forever. It's a pretty cool thing. - So, Brian,
you have an entry for full lift at Potarch, but you also have a lift for
a farmer's lift and carry. - All right. - That is the world record. That is 11 feet and
six-and-a-half inches. - Awesome. - Yeah, buddy, that was so cool.
- Well done, buddy. - That book is going to stay
with those stones forever. So anybody 50,
100 years from now can look back and see
my name in there and what I accomplished
with those stones. - All right, are you
guys ready to eat? - Always.
- Yeah.
